[Baiyun Hao:A slow-paced, in-depth mobile “home”]
🚂 Train positioning:Redefining the immersive experience of “mobile travel”
The Baiyun Hao is China’s first luxury tourist train themed around the “traditional Chinese scholarly household,” championing the concept of “low density, slow travel.” The full train is recommended to have 18 carriages with 92 passenger seats, equivalent to one-third of the capacity of an ordinary special train, striving to give each passenger more spacious public space and a more private rest environment. Its design is inspired by traditional Chinese courtyard homes; from the carved screens in the welcome hall to the ink-wash decorations in the carriages, Eastern aesthetics are reflected everywhere. The train adopts a “travel by night, tour by day” model, so tourists do not need to frequently move their luggage and only need to carry a light personal bag throughout the journey, truly achieving “luggage follows the special train, tourists follow the scenery.”
🏨 Compartment configuration:Private bathroom + panoramic windows, creating a mobile “boutique hotel”
The Baiyun Hao consists entirely of double-occupancy private rooms, each equipped with a dry-wet separated bathroom, solving the pain point of “difficult bathing” on traditional special trains. The compartments are divided into two types:
Yunqi · Lanyue Luxury Twin Room:About 13.8㎡, with a reception sofa, mini fridge, and 270° panoramic viewing window; the twin beds can be combined into a 2-meter king bed, suitable for couples or family travel. The full train is recommended to have 8 such rooms, which require advance booking.
Yunqi · Yayun Quality Twin Room:About 10㎡, equipped with a bathroom, small fridge, and viewing window, with Chinese-style interior decor; the twin beds can be separated or combined, offering high value for money, with a total of 38 rooms on the train.
Years of train operation:Newly put into operation in 2024, with all equipment recently configured.
